schtick

It's not a gimmick or a schtick, this is a fully-fledged game of football, at Cliftonhill on Saturday at three o'clock, with all the bells and whistles and with three points on the line.

Those are just the highlights of some of the introductory speeches before Trump came on and did his usual schtick which had people leaving the venue in droves.

But he refuses to go away, even though his schtick is growing ever more tiresome.

Whether that's enough to overcome Trump's inexplicable hold on the Republican Party after eight years of his now very tired old schtick is unknown.

He says we must take this very seriously and that even if the media cynically dismisses all this as a "schtick" or old news, Trump and his henchmen are deadly serious.
